#BlpDulce

Dulce is a high-waisted mini skirt with a slight "A" line shape at the hem. It features two darts on the front and two on the back and in invisible zip on the centre back seam.

The skirt is fully lined with a bagged out lining and an internal separate waistband which is finished with a bias binding on the bottom edge for a luxurious finish.

Due to the nature of digital files, we do not accept returns on our PDF patterns or products.

SUITABLE FABRICS

Main fabric: Dulce was designed for mid-weight fabrics that can hold some structure like tweeds/ bouclé, suitings, denim, crepe, linen and cotton.

Interfacing: lightweight fusible woven interfacing or lightweight knit interfacing with low stretch. Fully interfacing the skirt will add a soft structure and weight to the skirt.

Cotton interfacing is not recommended for this pattern.

Lining: lightweight slippery fabrics such as satin, habotai, viscose satin lining, crepe de Chine, viscose twill, cupro and acetate.

For main fabric made of cotton or linen, it is recommended to line with cotton voile or a lightweight cotton based fabric.

classic skirt for your closet

I absolutely love the skirt and the instructions, but I had some difficulty with the final section. I ended up turning to the YouTube video for help (which I highly recommend, by the way!). The video includes extra tips and finishing techniques that really helped make my skirt feel more polished and well-made. There is some hand sewing involved, but I really enjoy the process, and I learned a lot of new skills. I can’t wait to make more skirts using this pattern!

Excellent pattern

I found the instructions for this pattern very easy to follow. The lining came out beautifully, I appreciated the extra steps for making it a very clean finish. The fit was also spot on for me, with no modifications. Overall I really enjoyed the instructions and the finish product, I’d definitely recommend Bella loves patterns and am eager to try another one!
